3 weeks ago we implemented HSM's CRQ and immediately after doing so, we experienced a jump in our tape usage. After a week of this unexplained tape growth, I added the default PARTIALTAPE(REUSE) parm to HSM and at that point our unexplained tape growth stopped.
I opened a ticket with IBM and they have not been able to give me an explanation other than "somebody must have done a PARTIALTAPE(MARFULL)"; Also, they have not been able to explain how come our tape growth stopped once I added the "PARTIALTAPE(REUSE)" -the default. I read something about cross memory region, CSSXMODE(Y/N), might be the culprit in this situation but IBM denies any issues with this. Has anybody experienced anything like this before?
